So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

Help! I am running out of time, and I still have the animal kingdom to cover! This happens to me EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR!! I really can't think of any topic in my biology class that I don't enjoy. I am a biology nerd and I love teaching! But there are certain topics that I REALLY love and I spend too much time on them. Cell physiology, biochemistry, cell division, photosynthesis, respiration, genetics, DNA, evolution.

Innovative educators often are not fans of traditional teaching dominated by sage on the stage lecturing from the front of the classroom, occasionally pausing to ask a question and point to a child whose hand is raised. While direct instruction has its place, in general innovative educators strive for more of them (students) and less of us (educators).
